Most of you know James Anderson and his gunmaking talent. His Son David is a very talented HS baseball player. Please take the time to vote for him.

You guys need to get with the program; the track guy is ahead of Anderson.

Done.
He needs more votes to get on top!

I'm hustling for him. We have really closed the gap.

I have met James Anderson's sons, albeit when they were much much younger. Happy to place a vote.

I did too.

Best of luck to him.

Done.

Done, but he is still behind. More votes.

done but still behind

Thanks for what you do. We were within .5%, but slipping a little now.

On top, but by a thin margin.

Done! Good luck!

Hey thanks guys! Sturgis is a much smaller town than Spearfish. Kind of hard when going head to head in these athlete of the week polls. David has been hitting the ball hard since I can remember. His freshmen summer he hit a few dingers over the MLB sized field and never looked back. Been leading his team in stats from then through now.

Here's a highlight hitting video of his last year's very chi cut season.

He got my vote !

Hip

Done!

Here's another one, cha-ching!

I don't know when the voting ends but David could use a few more votes to beat the track guy, let's go guys make it happen. go vote for him.

Thanks for the help guys. He didn't win the local contest, but the last regular season games have been played and he came out first in the state in batting average for the Class A (biggest schools).

Stat chart puts him on top at .482, but he actually batted .500 considering a reached on error that was a legitimate hit. That was his goal at the beginning of the season.

first in state for on base + slugging percentage (OPS) 1.324

Second for slugging percentage @ .750

5th for pitching for # of strikeouts 56. He did this in 27.2 innings. The guy in 4th place had 58K in 41.1 innings pitched

Thanks again for the support

Did he get a baseball scholarship for college?

He should, but scouts very seldom go to the Dakotas.

Well, he graduates today.Yea!

He did get baseball scholarship offers from a couple of pretty good JUCO 2 year baseball programs. I'd be happy for him to get into JR college with $$$ to help and hit the ground running getting playing time right off the bat. pun intended. However, indecision is the key to flexibility. He might be looking to walk on if possible at SDSU in Brookings, SD. D1 school so much more competition.

Overall, there's not a lot of scholarship $$ for baseball, considering football and basketball programs are cash cows for most larger colleges.

maybe the Major League Draft??
